I wish I would have seen this thread before purchasing my wood floors from Appalachian!! I DO NOT recommend at all. I bought white oak floors (Alta Mode line) and when they were first installed they were beautiful. But after a few months, they look so dirty! I purchased these knowing they were “sealed” which is completely false. The grain is open allowing for any dirt to enter, an no amount of hand scrubbing can even get them cleaned. Two pictures show under a rug, and the other picture in an area that’s exposed. I was told the warranty means nothing. So sad considering they were $10sqft!

I bought a sample of raccoon hollow. I thought I might paint my cabinets (lowers) this color. It's a medium to somewhat deep green/brown/gray. It's definitely not light. I think that it took more of a green/brown color in my home than anything else. It is a nice color, but wasn't right for my home right now. Maybe later, though. It was a nice moody color, but was thinking of more of a pure gray. With the trendiness of gray, maybe I should reconsider. I've attached a link to a blog that used that color. In my home, the color matches the color of the photo facing the black front door. And, the photo below. This is where I got the idea to use the color. :) Here is a link that might be useful: Design dump

I saw a kitchen painted in Toasted Pecan (one shade darker than Tuscany) that had antique white cabinets. I liked it enough to get the paint chip in anticipation of maybe using it in my kitchen. It seemed too dark on the chip, so I settled on Tuscany--so I'd LOVE to see a picture of it in your bedroom. It's still on my "like" list, but it'll have to be in another house since we're moving in a couple of months. I was going to keep my same accents of sage and basil green and perhaps some eggplant. The nearby walls are soft smoky gray, so gray is another color that I think goes well with it.

I have BM tranquility in a north facing room. It reads a medium grey-blue.
